	amazondebs picked Things are caused, but they are also free (Soft Determinism/Compatibilism): only because some things are caused by some peoples choices posted 11 months ago.

	Cinders picked Things are caused, but they are also free (Soft Determinism/Compatibilism): Though in the Debate Spot, I said I was a hard determinist, only to argue it. ;o) posted 11 months ago.

	ztara picked Things are caused, but they are also free (Soft Determinism/Compatibilism): if everyone has free will then they overlap and you have to ajust the choises you make to comprimise with the decitions others make posted 10 months ago.

	kateliness2 picked We choose and consciously perform actions; free will exists (Libertarianism): Yes, but they only overlap because of free will. If someone fender-benders the back of your car and it is their 'fault' entirely, it is still partially your 'fault' (that it happened to you) because you went out in your car that day, decided to go through the yellow light because you had time, took an alternate route, etc. posted 10 months ago. last edited 10 months ago

	JDCAce picked We choose and consciously perform actions; free will exists (Libertarianism): I'm not sure if it's just the wording or not, but I can't even fathom, "Things are caused, but they are also free." Could someone elaborate? posted 9 months ago.

	nataliejade picked Things are caused, but they are also free (Soft Determinism/Compatibilism): Yeah Somethings even though we wish we could we don't have a choice in the matter. posted 1 month ago.
